Original idea for a biz

natchez416 · #1 05-19-2006, 03:28 AM

I would like to know more about new updates on Era and what staff are working on. what about you guys ? The server update screen misses a lot of smaller updates on Era. The Era updates guy infront of unstick me is impossible to read because you get killed every time you stop to read it. I think Era should have a newspaper biz. the owner would right a new paper once a week about new graal updates, gang activity and what staff are working on maybe people could pay the newspaper biz to put in an advertisement for their biz or selling something. Maybe the owner of the newspaper biz could buy newspaper vending machines and set them up around Era.

theres a lot you can do with the idea what do you guys think ?

Newspaper writing is just column writing and putting political views and stuff irl.
So follow that format as close as you can.

If staff makes a newspaper biz i wouldnt mind running it and writing articles.

No one would mine running it, genius, it's a position of respect. Volunteering for it is hardly the way to go about it.

"HEY SNAKE ILL BE MANAGER FOR YOU NO PROBLEM YOU DON'T EVEN GOTTA PAY ME"

A lot of updates are made to Era daily, unfortuneatly, some of them are unneeded for the time, and no one is ever notified.

I was considering a long time ago hiring someone to write about Era current events. They'd get paid $1000 a week and have a staff tag (ECE) for Era Current Events. They wouldn't get RC, but would be in close relation with staff.

Thats not worth the work

The work would take no more than 30 minutes if an admin is online for quotes and such. Plus, it's one and only sometimes more than that a week.

Of course, the catch is you must be literate and use AP style.

Hachi, how could we apply for this job? I have been in the writing industry, (writing online for Macintosh / tech websites) for approximately 3 years.

We may bring it back.
